Soo...this is a little delayed. I apologize, I was burnt out last week and this weekend. In an effort to make up for the missing post, I give you eleven tracks. Just for all of you, and they are all boombastic in their own special ways.Get up on that.
e016 (i'm late)
This is a little electro outfit out of the UK called The Whip. Although there is truly an onslaught on artist in this genre, some actually have a little bit going for them...just a little. The album overall is pretty good, but this particular song right here stands out and up and walks out the door with your five bucks...word.
(mp3 download) The Whip "Save My Soul"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
This is super-soaker old. Every Move A Picture seemed to come and go quite quickly, there was so much hype...and now, nothing. But I still dig the guitars in it hard, and you can relate to this song. Or the fact that after midnight...things change...sometimes good...sometimes bad. I always say never start doing something after midnight...all bad.
(mp3 download) Every Move A Picture "On The Edge of Something Beautiful (At 12 AM)"
purchase: iTunes
This is even older, like almost a decade. I never got into The Vines too much, always been into Outkast. When they released their "Outtathaway" single, this cover of "Ms. Jackson" was the b-side. Jamming.

Another UK band. The Wave Pictures make cool, super lo-fi, Arctic Monkeys sounding stuff. It has a little bit more sunny, beach day feel to it, though. They have tons of material out (through their website) and for the most part, it's all something to check out. Sooo...CHECK IT OUT.

Heard about this from Hot Chip's "DJ Kicks" mix. It's the first track, and is super cool electronica/r&B? Maybe...anyway. This has been a favorite of mine for awhile. And now I give unto you Grovesnor.
(mp3 download) Grovesnor "Nitemoves"
purchase: iTunes
e017 (but not preggerz)
I don't know much at all about Shy Child, except they make some pretty sweet tunes. Spank Rock is even featured on one of their tracks. That's enough to get me stoked...most of the time. Well, seeing as summer is 6 months away (about), I figured it was perfect timing to put up this jimmy.
(mp3 download) Shy Child "Summer"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
From Venice. Japanese Motors. Sound like a more surfier version of The Strokes. They make some rockin' tracks. And should be looked out for...mainly because they are local (to me). And I want to get credit if they blow up (maybe?).
(mp3 download) Japanese Motors "Crooked Gun"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
Everyone knows Justice's "We Are Your Friends." Well, this is the original. The band is called Simian, and in all honesty...I am into the original more than the remix, maybe because the Justice is being super over-played along with their version. Anyway, what do you think?
(mp3 download) Simian "Never Be Alone"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
Dancey disco indie stuff. Yep. That's what Friendly Fires is doing. It makes you feel teh good and get all up in stuff...knee deep. Sorry, I'm tired and feel like making up nonsense...live with it. Anyway, listen and take it how you want it..."any way you want it, that's the way you need it."
(mp3 download) Friendly Fires "Skeleton Boy"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
So there is a Ladyhawk and a Ladyhawke. Ladyhawke is who this is. And one of the few girl-fronted music acts around that I get into. This beat beats, if you know what I mean. Anyway, it's a good song, and I'm almost done...so my mind is done.
(mp3 download) Ladyhawke "Dusk Til Dawn"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
I've followed Marty James since the Scapegoat Wax days, and I'm super stoked now that he has One Block Radius and is gaining some notoriety...albeit small, but definitely more than with Scapegoat Wax. This is off their self-titled sophomore release, and it's a story of lost love...aww how feminine...it's actually a good track. So, let your muscles down, dudes.
(mp3 download) One Block Radius "Wantin' U Back"
purchase: iTunes | Amazon
HA! I did it. In your face. Now let's see if I can get Wednesday's up in time....:/
